>Agree with the half assed nature of the idea as a whole but looking at the aftermarket prices on that stuff I dont think many viewed it as a “waste”.
Transformers is such a big fandom that even outdated iterations will still fetch a good price out of completionism or attachment.
Still it's hard to think of who would care about Takara's Legends Hot Rod after studio series. Just reminds me of UT redecoes from the 2000's trying to look more G1 which became obsolete once proper G1 molds came out.
But you're right, if you're just trying to break even on it you end up fine.
